[@Raijinslayer][/center][hr][hr]No sooner had his ordeal with the formidable Mrs Bloomenburg ended when Kim found himself facing another questioning, though not quite as intimidating, adult - the Guildmaster. He didn’t quite know what to make of Aiden Cross. Sure enough, the man’s deeds spoke loud enough for him. Yet when Kim envisioned the S Class Slayer who took down the infamous Dark Guild, Demon’s Maw, the guildmaster didn’t exactly come to mind. Perhaps if Kim was allowed to attend missions he might one day get the chance to see Aiden in action. Though for the moment he had bigger concerns.

Squirming under Aiden’s gaze, Kim instinctively averted his eyes to the ground and put on a sour pout - a habit he’d picked up over years of being talked down to for some form of mischievous  behaviour or another.
“[color=palevioletred]S’nothing. Just a friend of Pa’s[/color]” He hesitated to say much more, but knew the guildmaster wouldn’t buy such a flimsy explanation.

“[color=palevioletred]Actually, Mrs Bloomenburg was wondering why I wasn’t at school.[/color]” Kim rubbed the back of his head, trying to cover up the awkward tint of red growing on his cheeks. He didn’t expect it to be this hard to talk to Aiden, but the anxiousness of what he might do once the truth came out was extremely unnerving. “[color=palevioletred]Truth is, my old man doesn’t exactly know that I’ve been coming here. I think the old bat is on her way to rat me out.[/color]”

Kim slumped forward with a defeated sigh. He slowly peered up at the Guildmaster, expecting to see the disappointment and anger etched upon his face.
